Much of OSPF version 3 is the same as in OSPF version 2. OSPFv3, which is described in RFC 5340, expands on OSPF version
2 to provide support for IPv6 routing prefixes and the larger size of IPv6 addresses.
In OSPFv3, a routing process does not need to be explicitly created. Enabling OSPFv3 on an interface will cause a routing
process, and its associated configuration, to be created.
In OSPFv3, each interface must be enabled using commands in interface configuration mode. This feature is different from
OSPF version 2, in which interfaces are indirectly enabled using the device configuration mode.
When using a nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) interface in OSPFv3, you must manually configure the device with the list of
neighbors. Neighboring devices are identified by their device ID.
In IPv6, you can configure many address prefixes on an interface. In OSPFv3, all address prefixes on an interface are included
by default. You cannot select some address prefixes to be imported into OSPFv3; either all address prefixes on an interface
are imported, or no address prefixes on an interface are imported.
Unlike OSPF version 2, multiple instances of OSPFv3 can be run on a link.
OSPF automatically prefers a loopback interface over any other kind, and it chooses the highest IP address among all loopback
interfaces. If no loopback interfaces are present, the highest IP address in the device is chosen. You cannot tell OSPF to
use any particular interface.
